Apple, Pfft!!! (Another iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes post)

How in the world does Apple market the iPod, etc... as if 10-year olds and grandmothers can operate the technology, when having viewed these message boards for 10 hours yesterday, it seems as even the tech savy people who can make a computer out of two pieces of bread and a piece of bologna have to wrack their brains to make it come a step closer to actually working. Blah!!!
Anyway, the problem that I am having is the problem that a lot of other people are having and seems to be the main theme at the moment.
I am unable to have iTunes recognize my iPod. My PC will once-in-a-blue-moon recognize the iPod as its own drive in Windows Explorer, but mostly all I get is the big freeze. Every time I connect my iPod to the USB, all of the programs cease to operate until I unplug it. I am not having memory problems either.
Here's what I've done. I have updated the iPod Updater to the 06-23-06 version. I was able to get it to update the software on my 60GB iPod. I got all excited only to then have it give me several error messages 1) an internal manager error and 2) some unable to dock or something like that (sorry I'm not at my home cpu.) Once while I was doing the 4-hour battery charge my iPod came up in the source list in iTunes, but I have been unable to have it be rerecognized.
I've unistalled and reinstalled iTunes and the iPod Updater over 10 times and have gone through the 5 Rs as well as all of the steps on
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 (My iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes)
I've even messed with msconfig and tried a whole bunch of other suggestions. It doesn't seem that Apple has a fix for this problem and we are all left with paperweights.
Any suggestions?
Thanks you all and condolences to everyone who is going through this same problem. I swear what happened to plug and play. Pfft!!!

You know they are probably going to search me out and crash my computer for posting this but i had the same problem with iTunes. i spent hours, went through the 50000 "R's" and changed my settings and formatted and reset and reloaded and then i tried Realaudio. it found all the songs i had loaded into iTunes and put them on my shuffle first try. you can get Realaudio at <www.real.com> Let me know how it works...

IPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes

I have recieved a new IPod video 30Gb off my g/f (how nice of her :D) anyway when I plug it into my computer it will not appear in iTunes, a problem plenty of people are having it seems. The difference being I think I know what caused the problem but I'm having trouble with it still.
When I recieved the Ipod I tried it on my girlfriends computer and it worked fine. She already had an ipod and itunes installed. I was able to add music no problem and it appeared in itunes. She however was having problems downloading on her computer for websites or using download sofware since installing itunes and the problem went away when itunes was uninstalled.
Because of this (there were work arounds so I'm not after a fix for that) I thought I try using other software to see if that stopped me having this problem. This meant when I got my ipod home I plugged the ipod into my computer and did not install anything off the disc. This I believe is what has caused my problem for not being able to see my ipod in itunes.
Anyway I tried to get other software to work (winamp at the time) but couldn't figure it out and so thought I'd just bite the bullet and install itunes and hope I didn't have the same problems as my g/f.
After installing and plugging my ipod in again nothing happened. I checked My Computer and the ipod was there and called PHIL'S IPOD but nothing was in itunes. I then followed all the instructions on here :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
but it still won't pick up my ipod.
Is there anything else I can try to get my ipod to appear in itunes I really do want to use it but at the minute I can't at all.
Thanks in advance.

Two years ago I had to return an ipod mini to the shop for a refund as I could not get it to work. It showed up in windows but not in itunes. I spent about a week trying EVERYTHING, blamed apple for some stupid glitch and gave up. Ten days ago my daughter got an ipod nano, and since we share the same pc I did warn her of what might happen. Yup, it did. Exactly the same problem. Once again I tried all the tricks, the five Rs, renaming the drive, you name it, I did it. Throughout this period though my PC was running a little slow and weird things were happening and despite using Norton Antivirus and other anti spyware I suspected I had not fully recovered from some sort of infection which drove me mad by blasting me with popups for 888 casinos etc. What I thought was really odd was that nothing showed up in Device Manager and having googled around a bit I came across this from which you can download a AproposFix.
So if this sounds like your problem go here:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14679793
and try it. The ipod now works, my daughter turned pink with delight, and my PC is now back to normal speed and all sorts of other seemingly unconnected annoyances have been resolved. I really do wish Apple could be more aware of problems like this as there seem to be many thousands of 'users' (ha ha) out there who look as if they are having similar problems.

Fix for "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes"

This is a possible fix for those with the "iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes" problem. This also fixes those have the update/restore problem (ipod disconnects after clicking update/restore in itunes)
SOLUTION
SOLUTION
I had the exact same problems before, iTunes doesn’t recognize iPod after connecting it, I had to use the restart iPod Service method to get it working.
I tried this on my second computer and it worked perfectly, iTunes recognizes iPod every time I plug it in.
I compared the process/services opened in both computers, and I turned on some services which were previously on disable(excluding iPod Service). Unfortunately I forgot which services it was, so I took some screenshots and compare these with your services.
After modifying the services, I tried plug and unplug the iPod several times without closing iTunes, iPod was instantly recognized by iTunes every time!
I attached the links to screenshots of my automatic services and manual services, ignore the service if its not on your list!
For those don’t know how to open Services, Start -> Run -> “services.msc”

2. gen iPod nano sometimes shows up in Finder, but not in iTunes

Hi!
My brand new 8GB iPod nano that I got for christmas sometimes seems to have problems connecting to iTunes. Every now and then (perhaps 1/4 of the time?) it will show up in Finder, but not in iTunes (I haven't enabled "disk mode" yet, so when it shows up in iTunes, it is not visible in Finder). Also, on one or two occasions, it showed up in iTunes, but wasn't recognized.
Whenever this happens, I just eject the iPod from Finder and disconnect it, and on the second try (on one occasion - third try) it will show up in Finder.
What could this be? Bad connectors/cable - or iTunes just not very reliable?
MBP 15" C2D 15" 2.33/2/160 - MB (white) 2/2/120 - PBG4 12" 1.33/1.25/60 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

These problems return every now and then.
In addition, if the iPod is connected, is shown in iTunes and has already synced properly, it will sometimes reset if I try an additional manual sync from the File menu. It's a rather benign error, since it will connect and sync as soon as the iPod has restarted.
I also had one freeze of the iPod while playing.
This is my first iPod, and I'm used to computers that run for months or years without a reboot. Is it just normal for an iPod to freeze/reset every now and then? My Nokia phone does it too, but then I expect more from Apple...

IPod shows up as disk but not in iTunes on Yosemite

Hi,
I have an iPod classic, previously owned by a different family member on a different library. I wanted to erase and get my own content on. The problem is that it does come up as a disk in Finder, but not in iTunes.
I have used on various other computers (all Yosemite), no problem. Just on this one it doesn't work.
I have tried to create a new library, same problem.
I have tried under a different user, same problem.
All other iOS devices work fine.
Same problem for all iPod (classic, nano, ...) which show up as disks, but not in iTunes.
The only difference is that I have Yosemite Server running on the same computer. Not sure whether this could be the reason?
Thanks
Patrick

HT201269 My Ringtones are in my Purchases, but not on iTunes download?

My Ringtones are in my Purchases, but not on iTunes download, and don't appear in Tones?

I know that there is a way to go into my ipod files and pull out all of the songs as I have done it before. Would it work to create a new library, pull all of the ipod music files into it, and then match that to my current iTunes match account? Also, do you know, if I do that am I starting the entire match process over again or will Match recognize the files that it has already matched from my previous librarly? If I have to start the entire process over again, I might reconsider as it has taken FOREVER due to my ISP.
Thanks again for your help and input.

Mini shows up in Windows, but not in iTunes

It shows up in My Computer, but not in iTunes. I honestly don't feel like trying anything on the website, because I have purchased music, and my cd burner is not working. I have now messed up iTunes by trying to reinstall it. Now whenever I open iTunes, its saying that I need to reinstall it because the software that recognizes the iPod is not working. But everytime I try to reinstall it, it stops and doesn't complete the process.
I would like any help, I'll try and do everything I can just in case I have to remove iTunes.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

3G iPod Shows up on Desktop but not in iTunes

I am having the same problem with my 3G iPod. It has been working flawlessly for many years but I tried to mount it and update my songs and it will show up on the desktop but not in iTunes. It does show up in the system profiler. I reset the iPod via the updater and keypresses. I trashed the plist files for the iPod and iTunes. Still nothing. I switched my firewire cables to different ports. Nothing.
What was strange was that Yami-pod does not see it as an iPod either so it is not just iTunes.
My iPod shuffle works just fine and mounts right away in iTunes.
This is on my eMac where I store my music. I have not tested it yet with the Macbook.

I tried hooking the iPod to the MacBook and it worked like a charm. I then moved the iPod back to the eMac and I still had the same problem. At my whits end I decided to zap the PRAM with the Command-Option-P-R trick and to my surprise the iPod launched iTunes and started syncing when I restarted the eMac.
I had no reason to think that there could be a problem with the PRAM as I did not have any other problems but it does seem to have been the problem.

Podcast PDF's showing up on iPhone but not desktop iTunes

Our church publishes a podcast from Sermon Studio (studio.sermon.net). We include mp3 audio and a PDF with message notes. These PDFs show up in the Podcasts iPhone app but not in iTunes under subscribed podcasts. Any idea why?

Oh, I forgot to mention that music seems to automatically download just fine whenever I buy a song off of my iPhone. Another thing is, the movies were all bought off of my iPhone.
